Untitled is a 1989 watercolor by Dotty Attie, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows two large, close-up eyes looking down at a person’s hands. The hands are clasped together in front of a mirror, and the face is blurred except for the eyes. Below, there’s a typed line that reads: *"Glancing at the mirror, he noted with surprise that during the night his teeth had become dislodged."* The text adds a strange, almost story-like twist to the picture. The eyes seem to watch the hands, making the scene feel quiet and a little mysterious. If you like this mix of images and words, check out Dotty Attie.
